Having some problems with the Terraform tool

[LukeCORZ]

So recently, I started working on a forest battle mod mission, I did stuff here and there. Everything was fine until when I tried using the Terraform tool. Now… it worked perfectly okay when I first started, but after some time, it seemed to be not working anymore?

This is what happened:

I first try to build like a random hill over here.

After that, I saved my changes.

… it didn’t saved? For some reason?

Then I tried deleting some trees nearby.

aaaannnnd, still doesn’t work.

So then, I tried moving the mod to a new file folder

As you can see here, at the top right corner, the mod name is currently Forest_Battle instead of Forest_Battle_old. Since this is a new file, the terrain has been completely reset.

So again, I did some terraform stuff.

To my surprise, it actually saved this time.

So I wonder that, is there actually a limit on how much you can terraform? Because if there’s actually a limit, it would be nice if the devs could increase it so that more complex terrains can be developed.

If anyone wants to try out themselves, here’s my mods

• Old mod:
  scene.txt (1.6 MB)

• New mod:
  scene.txt (1.7 MB)

Remember to change scene.txt to scene.blk before putting it into a new folder in userGameMods!

Interesting.
In theory you may remove some important entities. Idk.
Or yeah. Maybe there some terraforming limit.

I didn’t much time used terraforming tools so don’t know much, but will look at your problem.

It looks like bug so… I think would be good to also report it here.

i have the same issue unfortunately.

so i gave up with the terraform tool and i’m still waiting for a better tool.

which devs did hinted.

but… got no words of it from a long time.

[Devenddar]

I dunno. I’ll recheck it again, but later. Don’t have enough free time right now.

But I note that it’s not because of terraforming limits.
More like file size or something important was removed.
Or something very bad thing added.

Terraform in it’s current state is …subpar and that’s a strong understatement.

There is no limit on how much you can terraform. Client limit i mean.

You’ve managed to duplicate “terraforming” template entity in your old scene, maybe clicking terraform buttons too fast. Just delete empty one and it will work.
